So I'm going to pick out a few of the Top 10 vids and analyse them for you.

Number one on the list we have SIA - ELASTIC HEART. Personally I think this is a cool conceptual video, however is seen as controversial by many as it shows a very young girl who is quite hands on with a much older man, however, the meaning behind this video I think is quite deep as it can have multiple narratives behind it. Maybe a father who has a mental illness and as a result feels caged, or it could be depicting a rough relationship between a father and his Daughter. Whatever the meaning may be I think this is an exceptional video is as it allows the viewer to use their imagination and delve deep within their own mind into what their interpretation of the video song/video could be.


Number two we have MAROON 5 - SUGAR. This video is unlike any other the band has made before. It shows Maroon 5 travelling around and surprising couples on their wedding day with a performance. Unlinke Sia, it has no narrative or in a sense meaning to it, nevertheless it's a very cute video, showing the band's kind nature something which you don't see often with other artists, and make us happy watching it. 



Number three we have TAYLOR SWIFT - BAD BLOOD. Now Taylor's videos nearly all the time have the typical storyline of boy and girl, whether it shows them all smitten or a going through a bad break-up, but not this video, miss Swift surprised me (and I'm guessing alot of her fans) when she released Bad Blood. The video contains a lot of action and fighting, cool costumes, extra special effects and cameos from other female celebs, I don't think I've seen a better Taylor Swift music video. So cool.


The last of the ten I have chosen to analyse is CARLY RAE JEPSEN - I REALLY LIKE YOU. Now why wouldn't this video be in the Top 10? It not only contains infamous Bieber, but also Hanks. Tom Hanks, they really branched out in this video. This video shows Hanks lip-synching the song, it has a childish nature and it's just funny. A funny music video that I loved watching, because of Hanks. :)
